Sulkin'

walkin' 'round the city after dark

need protection from street thugs

who clip the tires

and rip the doors off rugs

and cowards


and all this life we've glorified

robbin' from the blind

it's not easy, you see

don't think I don't know sympathy

my victims in my shadow

starin' back at me


not me, I'm knockin

tip toe outside a stranger's door

casually let myself in

fill pockets with

trinkets, purses, china antique armoirs


and all this life we've glorified

robbin' from the blind

it's not easy you see

don't think I don't know sympathy

my victims in my shadow

starin back at me


as robbers in my thoughts

they tell me what to think

they're hiding in my clothes

crawling in the kitchen sink
